Step Three:
Click the Reset button in the bottom-
right corner of the right side Panels area
to reset the photo to its original full-color
look. Now, let's use the Adjustment Brush
to create a soft spotlight effect. Choose
Exposure from the Effect pop-up menu,
then drag the Exposure slider to the left
to -2.08. Turn off the Auto Mask check-
box, and then paint over the entire image,
which darkens the overall exposure (as
seen here).
Step Four:
Now, press-and-hold the Option (PC: Alt)
key to switch to the Erase tool. Increase
the size of the brush big time (make the
brush really huge), make sure the Feather
and Flow amounts are both set to 100
(as seen here), and then paint over just
the area of the photo where you want
the spotlight to appear. Here, we're just
going to paint over the bride's head, the
top of her shoulders, and most of the
bouquet to create our spotlight effect.
